Young trainer Peter Schiller struck first with So Much Better in race three for owners Glen and Susan Schiller.
The four year old gelding won in convincing style under the guidance of leading Junee reinsman Bruce Harpley who took advantage of a perfect inside line to record a winning mile rate of 1:54.5.
Previously racing in Victoria with the Quinlan, Alford team, the new addition to the stable promises to be a profitable investment for the local couple.
In a rare development, four locally trained pacers finished in all four placings in race seven at the same meeting.
Recent Young winner Our Jaguar Star ran home strongly over the concluding stages to record a narrow win over Our Sams Home for trainer David Micallef with Corporal Jujon for Peter Schiller third and Morior Invictus for trainer Keven Powderly fourth in what was the closest finish to a race at Wagga for a long time.
The winner, driven once again by John Downey ran a slick 1:57.4 for the 1740 metre event and in doing so increased his winning record to four with six minor placings from only 15 starts.
Katie Jenner also picked up some travelling money when I'll Be A Lady ran third in race four.
